Default New Design: Inter-Planetary Star Liner Antares

This design uses a Semroc BNC-50G nose cone and two TA-5020B transitions with a BT50 and a BT20 just long enough for the shoulders to make the nose section.

I spent a lot of time making the decals for this one. I "borrowed" a few from the Orbital Transport (I did change colors and/or shapes) the rest I drew myself.

I will be flying it on June 21 at the next CMASS launch.

Nice model, Tony!

Would you mind posting the decal image for us? Those graphics work really well.

Wow! Great model.

I was trying to picture it when you were describing it at the last launch but it's much nicer than I had imagined.

I'm looking forward to seeing it fly at the next launch.

Thumbs up Wow!

Wow, excellent design Tony. I really like the nose cone extented flare area with the TA-5020. It makes this design a truely original design indeed. This design seems to fly on the B6-4 as well with good launch guide length and Dv's.

Tony, I see that you have a "Comment" section in the flight specs colum with the wind conditions listed. I am wondering how you did this? Did you type it in or is it an option to select that the wind conditions be listed?

Thanks in advance, JP.

Thanks Craig.

Here's a GIF image of the decals. There are a lot more on the sheet than I used.

Thanks Bob. Glad you like it.

Yeah, it was kind of hard for me to describe.

Thanks.
I really like the nose section on this one.

In the simulation properties window there is a place for a comment near the bottom. I usually sim at different wind setting to see how a design will preform and type in the wind setting so I know which is which.
